At this walk just like any of the others, you will get to meet fellow survivors and caregivers. Too often survivors feel isolated and alone like no one else understands what they go thru and how they struggle after treatments to regain their former lives. Meeting other survivors in person is a memorable experience! Even if you are not up to walking, please consider attending anyway.

Oral cancer survivors are free but you still need to register each person attending. Many OCF members will begin their own fund raising pages. Many survivors or families of the ones we lost will create teams and make a big day out of the event. If anyone needs help with creating their own donor drive page, please ask and I can help you.

I will be the speaker at the Cleveland walk on Saturday. Hope to see you there!!!! smile
